Ramping at the PA...

Insurance

i just wonder if someone did get Hurt and they tryed to claim, does the paintball site have insurance, cos when they find out it was caused by a marker that fire's more than 1 ball per trigger pull, what would happen then?

When will you guys learn
For 15 bps personally i dont think the public would give a flying F**k, so after taking away that argument its boils down to safety
Anyone who knows me, knows i can take the extra love however i take that as being part of the game in the higher divs, i wouldnt like a newbie to have 10 in the head though
You are paying customers, you are paying for a service!
If you dont like the service go somewhere else!
If you eat out and dont like the menu you wouldnt go there again would you?
As for making it appeal to the public personally i believe the format we have know is easily addequate.
but if you think a tournament held in a field near ancaster is going to light the publics fire then your surely mistaken
You need big public venues
e.g. Blackpool beach, Bournmouth, Town parks ( hmm nppl seem to know what they are doing)
Shove it into the public eye!!
how do i know this
well its my job!!
come to the think of it the more i read and talk about it the less i give a c**p
that me done on this subjectomondo
peace

Kris, it'sn ot all about appealing to the public, it's also about an enforcable rule (you can't enforce semi only, FACT!) and a level playing field etc...

I'm not a ramping advocate, but I'm not against it either.

If the rules state that ramping can start at, for instance 5BPS, and you are not allowed to deviate from this rule with a higher BPS (ie start ramping at 8 or 9 BPS), then in my opinion the rule is stupid.

Jay,

For the guys who can sort their guns themselves they can set the ramping point at whatever they like.
As long as the first three shots a semi only and the minimum rate before ramp is allowed is five bps, and of course the cap is 15bps.

I myself would prefer ramp to start at 8bps and come off at 6bps but we have to go with one of the types of firmware out there, hence the PSP mode.

On a further note, all the refs have radios and if anyone of them thought a gun on their field was to fast, it would have been checked before that game was over, and after, and the next game.
These guys who tell us now that they saw guns where shooting faster, can they please let me know what THEY used to check or is this another paintball story.
We did catch guns shooting over and the device works very well, it is not effected by background noise and can store a string of one hundred shots in its memory, hell you can even print the memory if you wish.

In short guys this works.

What happened in those cases, banned, warned? What is the penalty?

Nothing as long as the mode in use was legal, so that means as far as the UK in concerned it could be fully auto.

Fact.

We have even asked for a reduction in our preimium because we have introduced a 15bps cap, unlike all other tournaments who allow cheat chips and pretend the don't exist.
That will be good when they go to court and have to say " well we knew they were out there but we said they couldn't use them, We just thought he really could shoot 23 bps at 300frs, and we didnt police it because... er .... well.. we dont know how.

That will look real good wont it.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

If you're found shooting over the limit in a game then your eliminated for that game only.....not further action taken. Thats what it is to my knowlege.

Not sure what happens if someone's marker is found going over after game over is called.

This is a fact mate, you prove the above statement or I will sue you on behalf of the PA and UK paintball.

I wasnt at the PA last weekend. But i know people who were there, and they have told me that they were shooting faster than the 15bps limit during some games because there were little/or no chrono checks being performed before some games. They said that it was easy to walk past the chrono judges while they were looking elsewhere or attending to other guns.

Also I didnt realise that you/the PA had been elected to represent UK paintball........is this another self afforded claim? Just like the "Champions of Uk paintball" claim......

I am also eagerly awaiting an answer from Russ/Hatts about the questins/points raised by Oli and others.
